Description

Format: Hardcover, 224pp. ISBN: 0670031399 Publisher: Viking Penguin Pub. Date: October 2002 Fans old and new will welcome this brand-new volume in John Mortimer's hugely popular series--Horace Rumpole's first appearance in six years. The comic, courageous, and corpulent "great defender of muddled and sinful humanity" reenters the fray in a book that sends up the British legal system as deftly as ever. Rumpole Rests His Case brings us seven fresh and funny stories in which Horace triumphs over the forces of prejudice and mean-mindedness while he tiptoes precariously through the domestic territory of his wife Hilda (She Who Must Be Obeyed). With his passion for Wordsworth, his kindly disposition toward the defendant, and a nose equally sensitive to the whiff of wrongdoing and the bouquet of a Chëteau Thames Embankment, the disheveled Rumpole is back and in impeccable form--perhaps for the last time? Author Biography: John Mortimer is the author of twelve other Rumpole books, which formed the basis for the PBS-TV series Rumpole of the Bailey. His work also includes many novels and plays, and three volumes of autobiography. He is also a former barrister at the Old Bailey, London's central criminal court.
